FORMULA
a(n) = n! * Sum_{k=0..floor(n/6)} 1/(k!^3 * (3*k)! * (n-6*k)!) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/6)} binomial(n,6*k) * A001421(k).
From Vaclav Kotesovec, Mar 20 2023: (Start)
Recurrence: (n-4)*(n-2)*n^3*a(n) = (6*n^5 - 45*n^4 + 112*n^3 - 123*n^2 + 68*n - 15)*a(n-1) - 3*(n-1)*(5*n^4 - 40*n^3 + 111*n^2 - 132*n + 59)*a(n-2) + 2*(n-2)*(n-1)*(10*n^3 - 75*n^2 + 181*n - 144)*a(n-3) - (n-3)*(n-2)*(n-1)*(15*n^2 - 90*n + 133)*a(n-4) + 3*(n-4)*(n-3)*(n-2)*(n-1)*(2*n - 7)*a(n-5) + 1727*(n-5)*(n-4)*(n-3)*(n-2)*(n-1)*a(n-6).
a(n) ~ (1 + 2*sqrt(3))^(n + 3/2) / (4 * 3^(1/4) * Pi^(3/2) * n^(3/2)). (End)
